the labyrinth as defined by the american heritage dictionary of the english language is “the maze in which the minotaur was confined”. minotaur, as defined by wikipedia, is the unnatural offspring of a woman and a beast. among other things.

a demigod is the unnatural offspring of a mortal and a god. of all the profane and blasphemous things you could do, knocking up yours or someone else’s creation is up there. therefore if one is to be born, it must be killed or otherwise punished. yes, we’ve established all of this.

cinder is the child of daksari. not profane or blasphemous enough to have a child with a mortal, but enough to get her sorry ass imprisoned under miles and miles of what was just begging to be called a labyrinth. the only thing it was missing was the minotaur, of course. so when the youngest child of cadaver had a rather surprising run in with a very godless mortal on the moon of cassandra…. it all seems rather planned out, doesnt it? i cant help myself when it comes to references to mythology and video games.

a labyrinth and its minotaur.

he basically did rome and the crusades at the same time. he leveraged being a demigod in order to conquer… basically all of cassandra. if he didnt exist, xolakaal probably wouldnt either

well, xolakaal’s existence was pretty much inevitable but he sped it up a LOT. xolakaal feeds on death, and the demiking waged a LOT of holy wars to expand his territory. any people who didnt worship him as the only god were made examples of (plaintext: killed en masse)
